Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins bet big and early on Eric Gentry, 125 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

However the rest shakes out, Scott at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
They read the board right and Jeremiyah Love was the payoff at the 11th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick30 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Nothing to complain about; Emmanuel Pregnon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at pick No. 77 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They will replay Keionte Scott at the 87th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
No drama and no debate, Ted Hurst went about where he belonged in pick 90. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Joe Royer
A tidy little value on Joe Royer in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Zxavian Harris at the 151st pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick 160 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They reached a country mile for Eric Gentry at pick No. 227, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in slot 229 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at the 238th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
They reached into another round for Enrique Cruz Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
